265 – Stranger (7) (Completed at 1:40 + added content at the end)
Exciting!
Exciting!
Exciting!
Exciting!
The tension was high as I knew that the Demon King and the Dark Knights were clearly ready to go out.
It wandered without a place to go.
“Why are you here, teacher…?” ?”
Lee Hwa-rin asked the man who welcomed her instead of the Demon King and the Black Knights.
A squinted-eyed man with a dazed expression was suddenly wiping the floor on the top floor of Kim Hwan’s guild with a mop.
“hahahaha, that’s right.”
Ceylon.
He scratched the back of his head with one hand and laughed heartily.
“What should I say…” It just so happened that it happened that way. “I can’t help but say that about this situation.”
hehehehe.
The slovenly smile and sloppy appearance went very well with the image of someone wiping the floor of someone else’s office with a mop.
Are you, by any chance, being captured and harassed by the Demon Lord or a member of the Black Knights?
What if they were people from another world who stayed in Ceylon?
I may have been dominated by such thoughts when dealing with Ceylon, and treated him as just a foolish man.
But those who gathered here, modern people, had knowledge that people from another world did not have.
It is said to be narrow-eyed-
It was knowledge about a specific person.
Of course, that knowledge was mainly used in creative works such as movies, comics, and games.
In today’s world, do we walk around with narrow eyes in reality?
It was better than being stoned for being a racist.
However.
Even taking that fact into account, the man in front of their eyes was too squinty to be squinty.
Incredible synchronization as if it came straight out of a creative work.
Wouldn’t it be exactly like this when you see a man in real life wearing a jjoljolgi with an S engraved on his chest and emitting beams from his eyes?
Now.
Now then, let’s look at him again, keeping in mind the possibility that he may be a human that matches the ‘squinty eyes’ we know.
The foolish impression became an insidious impression aimed at deceiving others.
The innocent smile became an insidious smile that enjoyed deceiving others.
More than anything, this situation.
This is a situation where the devil and his minions have taken over the place that should have been guarded, and are suddenly wiping the floor with a mop.
“…”
Gulp.
Lee Hwa-rin unconsciously swallowed saliva to moisten her dry airway with her nervousness.
Then, inhale air through moistened airways.
To smell the blood that might be left in the place.
That’s right.
In their eyes, Ceylon was clearly seen as a ‘cleaner’ rather than a cleaner.
This is the cleaner who cleans up the devil’s group and then cleans up after them.
“…”
But should I say that I am fortunate?
Sniff.
Sniff.
The air they carefully poured into the lungs, as if tasting wine, did not contain the smell of blood.
The air of the place was very clean, like a panoramic view of the city outside the window.
“… “
Was it a simple illusion?
The article below.
It is ridiculous.
I can’t believe I was able to deal with that demon lord’s gang single-handedly.
Above all, no traces of battle were found at the site.
Did the Demon King and his party engage in a life-threatening battle here?
Not only this luxurious office, which occupies the entire second floor, but also the surrounding area should have been devastated.
But the only signs of destruction visible at the scene were fragments of broken cups strewn near the floor that Ceylon was currently mopping.
And the light green liquid that was presumed to be the contents of the cup was all that was found.
Is that a sign of battle?
That can’t be possible.
Even if two middle school students had grabbed someone, it would have been more messy than that.
It made no sense unless the Demon King and his gang were completely defeated without even trying.
‘Wait.’
But then.
A series of elements come to mind in Lee Hwa-rin and Chariot.
A very large gate.
Returnee.
An unlimited mana meter with an error.
‘No way… ?’
Is it true that you only see what you know?
Lee Hwa-rin and Chariot were still frozen in confusion.
‘He single-handedly defeated the Demon King’s gang?’
‘It’s impossible.’
On the other hand, Mikhail, who knew nothing about Ceylon, came to a conclusion faster than the two and came to his senses.
Then he asks the two people.
“Lady Hwarin. Chariot. “It looks like you’re dating that guy. Who is that guy?”
“… “Our guest.”
“Guest? “Lady Chariot is receiving guests?”
Hmm.
Mikhail looked at her with his sticky eyes, as if spying on her Chariot’s inner thoughts.
“Hmm.”
But he failed to gain anything and turned his gaze towards Ceylon.
“Hey, over there.”
It was a contrasting attitude to how he treated ladies as a nobleman.
Her eyes were filled with deep hatred for her opponent.
Primal hatred that comes from values.
Returnees acquire unique quirks one by one as they are transferred to another world and experience all sorts of things, and in Mikhail’s case, his current hatred of the opposite s*x was one of them.
The world she was transferred to was a world where women’s mana sensitivity was inherently lower than that of men.
Mikhail, who lived as a mercenary and walked the path of the sword to survive in this world, was discriminated against and despised by her male colleagues every day, which made Mikhail who she is today.
Mikhail made a promise.
Standing over them with her sword, she says she will return the same treatment she received.
Mikhail, who rose to a higher position than others with his sword, came to see all men as beneath him.
“It’s called Ceylon.”
“Yeah, that one. Let me ask you one question. “What were you doing here?”
“As you can see, I was cleaning.”
“I have no intention of playing with words with you. Just ask one more time. “What were you doing here?”
“Hey Mikhail!”
Chariot called her out due to Mikhail’s aggressive attitude.
“I guess you said you were my guest?”
Then Mikhail’s expression softened again.
“Oh my. I didn’t mean to offend you, and I apologize. But it feels a little unfair. “I asked the right question, but you’re the one who gave me a strange answer?”
“Don’t do that, don’t do that. Mr. Ceylon made a clear statement.”
“… What is it, Lady Chariot? Were you such a kind person? “You’ve never shown me that.”
Mikhail pouted as if he was genuinely envious and made a loud noise as he stuck out his mouth.
“Huh?”
At that moment, Mikhail’s eyes turned to Kasha.
Kasha was getting closer to Ceylon.
Before Mikhail could say anything about her, Ceylon took the initiative to welcome her by raising her hand.
“hahahaha, Miss Kasha. There’s a lot going on. “I can’t believe I’m seeing you in a place like this.”
Pisik.
Then, Kasha’s mood, which had been strong all along, visibly softened.
She spoke with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
“Thank you so much for saying what I wanted to say on my behalf.”
“Nothing to say.”
“So, thank you very much, Mr. Ceylon. “What on earth were you doing here?”
“As you can see-“
“Just say cleaning.”
“Oh… ! Miss Kasha! You’re stealing my words! Then what on earth am I supposed to answer!”
“Mr. Ceylon.”
“Hmm? Ah. Mr. Chariot. “Tell me.”
“… “
“Teacher, not Mr.-“
“Oops, such a mistake! Sorry Master Chariot!”
“… It’s okay. Mr. Ceylon. “If you don’t mind, Mr. Ceylon, I would like to ask you something. If possible, would you please answer this seriously?”
“… “
When Chariot asked with a serious face, the smile on Ceylon’s face disappeared somewhat.
“What happened to the people here?”
“The people who were here? Ah! “You’re talking about pitch-black, scary people!”
Chariot’s serious advice was nothing more than Ceylon’s playful response this time.
But then.
The atmosphere of Ceylon changed suddenly.
Unlike before, he spoke in a calm tone with an obviously sinister smile.
“They are gone.”
“… !”
“… !”
Spooky!
Chariot and Lee Hwa-rin felt a chill as if the hairs on their entire bodies were standing on end.
“If you say you have important business to do, wouldn’t you just unilaterally leave it to me to take care of everything here and then suddenly leave? “They seem like mean people.”
Either way or not.
Ceylon returned to his pitiful appearance again and was twitching and moving his mop.
“… “
“… “
Chariot and Lee Hwa-rin’s expressions became increasingly complex.
Ceylon.
The closer I got to that being, the more I felt like I was being engulfed in an abyss deeper than darkness.
“… “
And Mikhail.
Her straight face, who was quietly observing the situation from the side, was distorted with dissatisfaction.
I didn’t like it.
It feels like you and the girls are being played by that one guy.
“Why are you so excited?”
“Yes? Me?”
“Yes, it is you.”
“Hmm… I guess it’s because I’m happy to be reunited with Miss Kasha?”
“Anyway, as long as you open your mouth.”
Mikhail sees Kasha, who was so indifferent to him, talking excitedly with the man.
“…Are you envious?”
Mikhail muttered with a smile full of victory.
“Huh?”
That was at that time.
Mikhail felt a response from her own ‘arsenal’.
An unprecedented and very strong response.
“Now, wait a minute-…!”
Why is this happening!?
There was no time for her to even try her hand at beautification work.
It jumped out of Mikhail’s armory.
“Mikhail!?!”
A sword emerged from within Mikhail’s body, piercing her chest.
“Calm down. It’s his ability.”
Chariot calmed down the embarrassed Lee Hwa-rin.
Sword Master Mikhail.
Her entire body was a weapon, a huge arsenal.
She had countless weapons stored in her body.
“Damn, why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
Mikhail, against her own will, grabbed her sword, which had jumped out of her armory, into her hand.
Among the numerous weapons she keeps, these are her nine favorite weapons.
Among them, it was the holy sword Etras that could be said to be the best.
Hurrr-
From Noble mtl dot com
The holy sword in Mikhail’s hand vibrated violently.
Toward Ceylon.
“Hoo.”
Mikhail had an interesting smile on his face.
“Lady Chariot. Hwarin. And – Kasha. Do you know what this is?”
Mikhail raised her holy sword as if to show off.
“Of course I know. It’s a holy sword.”
Mikhail was unique among the returnees.
She was like that in the sense that she enjoyed people’s attention.
Mikhail would occasionally show off his skills in front of her people.
She is holding the Holy Sword, her favorite weapon and a splendid weapon.
The Internet was literally littered with photos and videos of Mikhail defeating her gate with a holy sword.
In the world, the Holy Sword was a weapon that symbolized the Sword Saint, and was as famous as the Sword Saint.
“Then you must have heard about this holy sword.”
Mikhail aimed her holy sword at Ceylon.
Then, her holy sword began to resonate, emitting a vivid golden glow.
“…!?”
Chariot’s expression distorted as she knew about the nature of the Holy Sword.
As far as she knew, there was only one case where her holy sword resonated as well as it did now.
“A sword forged by the sun. Etras, the destroyer of darkness. The only time this sword resonates as well as it does now is when an evil being is placed before its eyes.”
An evil being.
How can we specify and define them?
The Holy Sword is possible.
It had the power to detect the ‘unclean’ nature of an object.
The holy sword concluded that the target was a villain.
To determine the tendency of an object simply through its reaction.
It was an irrational action, but the returnee’s relic had the power to turn that irrationality into reason.
As the holy sword resonated towards Ceylon, Chariot and Lee Hwa-rin’s expressions were filled with astonishment.
At this moment.
Ceylon was defined as an evil entity.
Mikhail continued his momentum and spoke to Kasha.
“Lady Kasha. I don’t know how you became close to that person. However, I can guarantee this one thing. That person is dangerous. “If you stay with him, something bad will happen to you.”
“… “
What kind of bullsh*t is that?
Kasha reacts angrily to Mikhail’s sincere appeal, but soon-
“Huh?”
Reminds me of the identity of Ceylon.
His true identity as a warlock and assassin.
Huh.
What is that?
Are you really brave?
“I heard that’s true?”
Kasha smiled mischievously at Ceylon.
“Miss Kasha… “
Ceylon smiled.
No matter how he interpreted it, Mikhail continued the flow with great momentum.
“Hey. For what purpose, Lady Chariot and Lee Hwa-rin. And I don’t know if he approached Lady Kasha. Leave. And don’t get close to them again.”
“This is again sudden… !”
“You are not listening to me seriously. What. I can’t help it. That’s your freedom. But. If it’s just my warning and you approach them again-“
A space opened above Mikhail, and his weapons rained down from him and stuck on the floor.
Each and every one of them is an ego weapon that serves only those whom it recognizes, with its own ego.
Among the numerous weapons that Geomseong possessed, these were her nine favorite weapons.
It resonated with the magic sword hanging on Mikhail’s waist and the holy sword in his hand, showing off a menacing appearance.
It gave weight to Mikhail’s remarks.
“Lee. Michael von Rudinus, in the name of the Sword Saint, I will not tolerate this. Do you understand?”
“… “
It was a moment when a triumphant smile was drawn on Mikhail’s lips when he saw Ceylon’s mouth closed.
Smile.
Ceylon opened his mouth again with a sinister smile.
“You can’t believe that a strict person is considered a villain and ostracized just because of a shiny weapon. Wow, this is really ugly.”
“Talk loudly. “Nothing will change.”
“Hmm… Clearly, this is not a situation that can be resolved with words… Oh, wait a minute. “It seems like there is one of your friends on my side, right?”
“… What?”
This happened before Mikhail could fully interpret Ceylon’s meaningful remarks.
“Huh?”
Mikhail’s eyes turned to his waist, and then he turned to the line leading straight to the front.
The magic sword hanging on her waist suddenly flew somewhere like a magnet.
Chuck.
Just like that, the magic sword was placed in the hands of that man, Ceylon.
“Magonus… ?”
I called out the name of the Demon Sword, my second favorite weapon after Mikhail’s Holy Sword.
“Hey, Magonus. “You have a surprisingly cute hobby of giving names to things, don’t you?”
“Oh, no… ! “That’s not the name I gave you-“
“Hmm? Oh, I see. “That’s the name this guy originally had.”
“… What?”
“Just then, this friend told me. “I’m sorry for the misunderstanding.”
“… Magonus spoke to you? That can’t be-“
After the magic sword escaped from the hands of the cursed knight, he has never served any master.
Except for Mikhail.
Only Mikhail was the master recognized by the magic sword.
“That can’t be possible!!!”
It was the moment when Mikhail shouted in anger.
“!!!?”
Mikhail’s gaze, which had been directed towards Ceylon, turns to the side.
Another weapon was flying towards Ceylon.
And one more thing.
Another one.
Another one.
In a moment.
Her weapons, which had been guarding Mikhail’s surroundings just a moment ago, were stuck around Ceylon.
Her nine childhood illnesses all had common characteristics.
She only served one master whom she truly recognized.
“W-what are you doing-“
Mikhail became thoughtful and extended her hand towards her weapon.
“Come back!”
There was no reaction.
Mikhail’s face turned even bluer, and Ceylon smiled very mischievously as he watched.
“I will respect your opinion.”
“What?”
What is happening all of a sudden?
Are you saying you want to return the weapon?
It was the moment when Mikhail’s almost soulless expression came back to life.
“I respect your opinion and will never be seen by you again.”
“What… ?”
Ceylon stored her weapons in her ‘arsenal’ according to the method indicated.
“Then that’s enough!”
“Huh!? Argh!”
She then held her kasha in one hand and smiled brightly at Mikhail.
“Oh, no…!”
Mikhail’s voice did not reach.
Kasha and Ceylon had already disappeared there.
“Ah…”
Mikhail, whose legs became weak, collapsed in her seat.
The posture of sitting on the floor was too feminine to be that of a noble person.
***
“Hey! Ceylon! What are you doing!”
“You saw Miss Kasha too! She said he was mean to me. I guess that made her a little grumpy!?”
“Hey, you crazy!!! Would you bully a weak person like that!?”
“hahahaha!!!”
“Why are they suddenly splitting again!!!”
“No, it’s because the expression ‘weak person’ is fun!”
Ceylon was currently standing on the roof of a building located near the Kim Hwan Guild headquarters.
Kasha was lying gently on both of his arms.
It was the so-called princess hug.
“uuu, hey! Wait a minute!!!”
Kasha, hugged by Ceylon, shouted.
Isn’t Ceylon trying to jump off the roof?
“Hey sleep- keaaah!!!”
They crashed.
In a moment.
There was someone who welcomed them as they landed on the ground.
After many twists and turns, it was Whivien who arrived at the Cheongseong Guild headquarters building after obtaining a clue to meet his colleagues.
“What, what, what, what, what!?”
She had a face as if lightning had struck in front of her eyes.
As she was looking up at the office building, she suddenly saw something approaching in the sky, so she said something-
“What are you, bird poop!?! What kind of person are you in the sky-“
“hahahaha! Ms. Kasha! Ms. Whivien says we are bird poop!?”
“Woah, wow…”
“Ka, Kasha!? Are you okay!?”
“Please save me…”
“Seylon, what on earth are you- aaaH!!!”
A flower in both hands!
Just as Ceylon was about to start nagging Hwivien, she grabbed her waist and then started moving through space again.
“aaah!!!!!”
“Kyaaah!!!!”
The screams of two women echoed high in the sky.
“Let’s move quickly! Others will be waiting too!”
